Bitget breach: $387.5 million stolen via zero-day exploit, cold wallets unaffected

Attackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability in third-party security products to gain internal credentials at Bitget, then issued fraudulent withdrawal commands targeting the exchange's hot and warm wallets. About $1.1 million was subsequently frozen by Circle, Tether and NEAR Intents, but Bitget's cold-storage assets remained secure. Within hours, Bitget announced it had absorbed the loss and restored approximately $300 million of the stolen funds. For traders and holders: this highlights the difference between hot wallets (connected to the internet and faster but riskier) and cold storage (offline and more secure). If you trade actively on Bitget, check your account; if you hold crypto there long-term, consider moving significant balances to cold storage or self-custody. The breach was not caused by weak Bitget code but by a vulnerability in third-party security software they relied on—a reminder that even major exchanges depend on external vendors.

Bitcoin and Ethereum hold ground amid modest gains

Bitcoin rose 0.5% to $82,988 and Ethereum climbed 0.8% to $2,506 over the past 24 hours, alongside modest gains in BNB (+1.1% to $750.26) and Solana (+0.9% to $110.06). These incremental moves suggest a lack of fresh catalysts or large directional conviction in either direction. For traders: price stability can mean lower volatility but also thinner momentum for swing strategies. For holders of major assets: sideways trading often precedes a larger move, so monitor exchange inflows and order-book depth on platforms you trust, especially following the Bitget incident.

Starknet, Celestia surge on technical momentum; SWARM Engine shows extreme volatility

Starknet (STRK) jumped 50.9% over seven days and is currently trending alongside SWARM ENGINE, which has risen 653.1% in 24 hours. Celestia (TIA) and Aerodrome Finance (AERO) are also among the day's most-searched assets, with seven-day gains of 26.9% and 13.0% respectively. These moves suggest renewed interest in Ethereum layer-2 scaling and modular blockchain infrastructure, though the extreme volatility in smaller-cap coins like SWARM ENGINE reflects speculative positioning rather than fundamental developments. For traders: trendy assets often carry outsized liquidation risk and low liquidity during reversals. Before trading any of these, verify exchange listing status, liquidity depth, and custody options on the platforms where you store holdings. Avoid over-leveraging on coins with this degree of price swings.
